Albus Dumbledore's sexuality has been a standalone subject since the day Rowling had revealed that he was gay. You know, Rowling says something new about the Harry Potter universe whenever she gets bored, and Dumbledore's sexual orientation is one of the top topics for the writer. In Rowling's new Harry Potter prequel series, Fantastic Beasts, we witness Albus Dumbledore as a young man. And Rowling keeps on giving us new details about the character.

The latest statement from the writer enlightened the passionate love relationship between Albus Dumbledore and the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald. "Their relationship was incredibly intense. It was passionate, and it was a love relationship," the author said about the two. Maybe we'll finally get to see what happens between the two in the third movie of the franchise.

Rowling continued her words on Dumbledore's relationship with Grindelwald with the following:

"As happens in any relationship, gay or straight or whatever label we want to put on it, one never knows really what the other person is feeling. You can’t know, you can believe you know. So I’m less interested in the sexual side – though I believe there is a sexual dimension to this relationship – than I am in the sense of the emotions they felt for each other, which ultimately is the most fascinating thing about all human relationships."

Fans have been upset after seeing the absence of their new favorite ship in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. And this latest statement from Rowling reveals a new aspect of it. We may be talking about a one-way love here, or it is a completely different situation. We'll have to wait and see what happens next between the two in the next film, which is scheduled to open in 2020.
